MARCH 21ST happy spring, here is a new skin! thank lauz for the new skin and, as always, refer to this topic to post all your comments and any issues you may have.

so i've been working on this kind of secretly for the past few days and now, here it is! winter is over--mostly, listen, its still cold here--and we're now into spring, so here's a bright happy skin for spring. all coding & graphics were done by me, lauz~ so if there are any issues, you guys all know what to do. leave any comments here that you'd like!

other than that we've added a new profile field that you can go fill out; its for pronouns! we've thought about doing it for a while but never got around to it, so now you can have that information in your profile so that we all use the proper pronouns when addressing you.

AHHHH the profile avatars are back where they were too so i can go back to using my 200x300 avatars! woohoo!! i'm glad you added pronouns because sometimes i'm like errrr i'm just gonna opt for they/them/their to be safe lol. obviously this skin is GORGEOUS and you did an incredible job lauz!!! i'm loving it! <33

i'm dealing with some things in my personal life (especially medically) so i'll be a little here and there for the next two weeks or so. feel free to PM me if you have any questions or need anything.

When watching a main profile the boxes don't align vertically, i mean the .mainpinfo1.

Also the font-weight of the topic/forum title is too light and i can barely see them, if you could up that up a little to make it more accessible would be great.

Also maybe using a letter spacing in the maintitle would make it more distinguishable. This is only cause i am photosensitive and my eyes strain with the yellow, so maybe it doesn't bother anyone else XD.

the main profile info is only a problem not aligning--for me at least--when someone hasn't filled in their pronouns, so i think maybe i've fixed it? if they don't align in a row for you then that's just either a resolution or browser thing--though everything looks fine in both firefox and chrome for me.

i thickened up the board names a little bit in both main forums and the topics themselves.

as for the maintitles, without sacrificing my aesthetic goal, i've added more spacing; it probably won't be up to par, but there was a certain look i was going for and that's as far as i'm willing to go to try and accommodate, sorry!
